  • 식품산업에서 박테리오파아지를 첫째, 동물 보건에서 항생제 대체품으로서, 둘째, 식품에서 바이오보존제(biopreservative)로서, 셋째, 식품 체인에서 병원성 세균을 검출하기위한 도구로서 다양하게 이용하고자 최근에 널리 인지하고 있다. 박테리오파아지는 바이러스로서 세균을 감염시키고 용해하는 특성이 있으며, 식품 안전과 관련하여, 1) 포유 동물세포에 무해하여 박테리오파아지를 안전하게 이용할 가능성, 2) 발효식품에 적절한 스타터 역할을 하거나 천연 미생물균총을 그대로 보존하는 박테리오파아지의 높은 숙주 선택성이라는 2가지 특징을 지니고 있다. 최근에는 식품첨가물로서 박테리오파아지를 '먹을 수 있는 바이러스'로 인정할 수 있을지 논의되고 있다. 식품유래 병원성 세균을 제어하기 위한 파아지의 이용가능성과 생물학 분야에서 관련되는 기초연구를 하고자 할 때 생기는 제한점 등에 대해서 고찰하고자 한다.

  • The antimicrobial effect of mixed solution of botanical antimicrobial agent-citrus product (BAAC) and such a natural additive as aloe, ginseng or Prunus mume extract on the spoilage microorganisms of soybean sprouts were investigated by paper disk method. The mixture (BAAG) of BAAC and ginseng extract showed the remarkable antimicrobial activity in the result of the experiment. Therefore, we used BAAG as pre-soaking and cultivating solution of soybean sprouts. Total bacterial and Escherichia coli cell count of soybean sprouts pre-soaked and cultivated in the BAAG-diluted solution (50 ppm) showed 2.5 ${\times}$ 10 CFU/mL and 1.3 ${\times}$ 10 cfu/mL in comparison with 3.5 ${\times}$ 10$^3$ cfu/mL and 5.8 ${\times}$ 10$^3$ cfu/mL of the control, respectively. BAAG-treated soybean sprouts also showed no slimy brown product and undesirable odor characterized in the control. It was confirmed that BAAG could be a proper pre-soaking and cultivating solution of soybean sprouts.

  • Vanillin is the primary flavor and fragrance compound of natural vanilla and is extensively used in the food, beverage, perfumery, pharmaceutical industries, and other applications. Vanillin can be produced by chemical synthesis, extraction from vanilla plants, microbial bioconversion of natural precursors to vanillin, and direct fermentation using glucose. Currently, most commercially available vanillin is produced by extraction from cured vanilla pods and by chemical synthesis using guaiacol and glyoxylic acid as starting raw materials. Due to environmental issues, health complaints, preference for natural sources, and the limited supply and soaring price of natural vanilla, biotechnology-based vanillin production is regarded as a promising alternative. As many microorganisms that are able to metabolize several natural precursors, including ferulic acid, eugenol, isoeugenol, and lignin, and accumulate vanillin, have been screened and evaluated, myriad strategies and efforts have been employed for the development of commercially viable production technology. This review outlines the recent advances in the biotechnological production of natural vanillin with the use of these natural precursors. Moreover, it highlights the recent engineering approaches for the production of natural vanillin from renewable carbon sources based on the de novo biosynthetic pathway of vanillin from glucose, together with appropriate solution strategies to overcome the challenges posed to increase production titers.

  • This study was investigated to determine the antimicrobial effect of the ethanol extract of Quercus mongolica leaf on microbial growth. The ethanol extract at the concentration of $250\;\mu\textrm{g}/mL\;and\;500\;\mu\textrm{g}/mL$ inhibited the growth of gram positive and gram negative food-borne disease bacteria for 40 hours in tryptic soy broth, respectively. Antimicrobial activity of the ethanol extract from Quercus mongolica leaf was not affected by pH and heat treatment. The comparision between ethanol extract and commercially available preservatives on antimicrobial activity in food system was conducted. When the 0.1% ethanol extract of Quercus mongolica leaf was added to pine needle drink and carrot juice, antimicrobial activity was similar to those of containing 0.05% benzoic acid and 0.5% grapefruit seed extract. Also addition of 2~3% ethanol extract to the soybean paste inhibited the microbial growth up to 7 week, comparable to the inhibition of 2% ethanol. Thus, this results indicate that the ethanol extract of Quercus mongolica leaf may be useful as natural antimicrobial agents.
